The Aggie Bowling Committee
leagues turned into full swing this
week and from the performance
of many of the new bowlers, there
will be some changes on the match
team.
Several of the freshmen are
certainly distinguishing themselves
by their fine “shooting” in league
play. At this time we would like
to extend an open invitation to
anyone interested in becoming a
member of the committee.
In order to make bowling as en
joyable as possible for all, each
new bowler should acquaint himself
with “bowling etiquette.” This
could be summed up as respect for
your fellow bowlers, both on and
off the approaches. Perhaps the
main courtesy is allowing any
bowler on the alley next to you to
complete his approach and delivery
before you step up beside him to
start yours. Since the facets of
eliquette are far to numerous to
list in this article, I urge each and
every reader to stop by the bowling
desk in the MSC and pick up a free
phmphlet fully listing all of the
accepted courtesies.
On November 12, the Aggie
Match ventures to San Antonio
to participate in the Texas Inter-
.collegiate Bowling Conference.
Since only the travel expenses are
furnished to the team, we are try
ing to locate homes in which the
team members may stay overnight
and therefore cut down on their
personal expenses. If any of you
are going home and have ample
room, your hospitality will be
deeply appreciated. Please get in
touch with Larry Dantzler or leave
your name and school address at
the desk in the bowling alley.

FROM THE
med
By Joe Callicoatte
Although it is long over due, there is a Battalion sports
column this year. There has been a slight change from last
year as you will notice above and the old Sport Slants has
been retired.
Jim Earle is the creator of our little character at the top,
who is supposedly the typical sportswfiter.
★ ★ ★ T ,
As Coach John Bridges was reviewing how his Baylor
Bear’s defense looked against Tech, he cited three plays that
hurt them pretty bad. The plays were running the fullback
off tackle; pitching out to the half back; and faking to the
fullback with the quarterback keeping.
Well if you saw Saturday’s game between A&M and
TCU, it was quite evident which plays were working for the
Cadets and they were almost identical to those described by
Bridges.
★ ★ ★
There’s a new team of Aggies that sprang up on Kyle
Field Saturday afternoon as the Cadets successfully staved
off a Frogs passing threat late in the fourth quarter.
This new bunch was the “Chasers”, four men strong.
They were not as subversive as the Mickey Mouse Mole-
men that have made their up through the steam tunnels
lately, but TCU quarterback Sonny Gibbs probably wished
they would go back where ever they came from.
When Coach Jim Myers was sure the Frogs were going
to start throwing those long passes, he said, ‘We need some
pass rushers,” and Johnnies on the spot was Wayland Sim
mons, George Hogan, Joe Bob Johnson and Walter LaGrone
who went in to form a four man defense line.
They went in and grabbed, fought and chased Gibbs all
over the backfield which earned them the coined name of the
“Chasers”.
College Football Ground Game Progresses
By The Associated Press
After a couple of years of de
fensive dominartce, college foot
ball’s ground-gainers are emerg
ing this season as the leading
figures of the game and the like
ly record setters.
Approximately halfway through
the season, two major college of
fense leaders, Howard Dyer of
Virginia Military and Bob Gaiters
of New Mexica State, are clipping
off yardage rates surpassing; any
thing in the past seven or eight
years.
And the two dominant figures
of the 1959 season, Dick Norman
of Stanford and Pervis Atkins, a
teammate of Gainters, are no
where to be seen in the statistics
released today by the NCAA Ser
vice Bureau.
In five games, Dyer has ac
counted for 938 yards by passing
and running, the best figure rec
orded at that stage in eight years.
A year ago at this time, Norman,
who won both the passing and to
tal offense titles last season, had
completed 65 passes and had ac
counted for 809 yards of his sea
son total of 2,018.
Gainters has rushed for 729
yards, the best half-season total
in seven years. Last season At
kins had only 971 rushing yards
for 10 games.
